About us

Legal Interpreters is an agency approved by the New Jersey registry of court interpreting resources.

The company

LEGAL INTERPRETERS LLC is an interpreting agency founded by an actual interpreter with a
broad and extensive interpreting experience. Agata Baczyk has been working as an independent
interpreter for several years and decided to start her own interpreting agency in order to
address the industry's need for professional and experienced interpreters. Most interpreting
agencies are not able to screen or assess their interpreters effectively because they don't
have the needed tools and knowledge of what that job entails. As a company led by a
professional interpreter we are able to ensure that the linguists we contract with are
knowledgeable and experienced.

The owner

Agata Baczyk has been interpreting since 2006. She is a Polish interpreter with experience
in legal and medical
interpreting as well as social work, educational and community interpreting.
In addition to being a Master Level Court Interpreter in New Jersey
and a Certified Court Interpreter in NYS and PA, she is also
a qualified medical interpreter and worked...
in Bellevue Hospital Center for few years. She taught a Healthcare Interpreting class in at a number of CUNY schools, including Hostos Community College and
LaGuardia Community College. She decided to start her own interpreting agency in order to address the industry's need for professional
and experienced interpreters.

Our interpreters are some of the best linguists in the nation. Each resume is carefully
reviewed before an interpreter is added to our database. We make sure the interpreters we
work with are certified by a state or a federal court. For those languages that cannot be
certified, because testing is not offered, we contract interpreters that have worked in the
courts in the past and have solid and proven experience to ensure they are qualified to
perform interpretation in the legal setting.

Ilana
Philadelphia, PA
Hebrew, Spanish
I am what is known to be as a third culture kid. I was born and raised in Venezuela until the age of 11 by Israeli parents. When I was 11 years old, our family decided to relocate to Philadelphia, where we have been for the past 23 years. Due to the various locations, cultures, and upbringing, I speak Hebrew, Spanish and English fluently on a daily basis. I lived in South Florida for over ten years and during that time I reacquainted myself with both the Latin and Israeli cultures and felt right at home; having grown up in the Northeast on the Main Line part of Philadelphia, I was not usually surrounded by people with similar mixed upbringing such as myself, and was always perceived as very open minded, social, different and humane. Being an interpreter has been wonderful in always providing me with some of the best work and ability to flexibly choose my schedule. Working closely and almost on a daily basis with a family who has come to the region for specific care or legal help, has allowed us all to become so close, while understanding their cultural differences and becoming an integral part of the team providing the best care and understanding possible. This makes every day we live and see how we help others so much more meaningful.

I look forward to many more years and meeting all of my fellow interpreters and staff and seeing you around!

Kjersti
Brooklyn, NY
Albanian, Spanish
Growing up in a variety of places: Brooklyn, Michigan and Texas, exposed me to a wide variety of languages and people, both of which I love. Through complete immersion in each language and culture and by being a volunteer Bible teacher, I have learned Spanish, ASL, and Albanian. Ever since I can remember, I have been interpreting for friends and people I meet in general. As soon as I could, I started interpreting on a professional level, for a variety of situations: over the phone, in court rooms, medical centers, offices and schools, both consecutively and simultaneously. Interpreting is my passion, and my career by choice.

Leonor
Christiansted, VI
Spanish
I have loved interpreting since age 10 - when my Mexican father, not fluent in English, wanted me to simultaneously translate for him American TV channels! Seriously, that is what started my interpreting career!

I am a native Spanish & English speaker, a US citizen. I grew up in Mexico and have
lived 34 years in the USVI. I interpret Spanish to English & English to Spanish simultaneously,
consecutively, sight, court room, and in a variety of venues. I translate to and from French,
having gained my degree in French and German from the University of San Diego. Languages
being my passion (I taught Spanish & French professionally for 22 years), I have over the years
also picked up Italian, Arabic and basic Greek.

Theresa
West New York, NJ
Liberian English, Kru
I was born in Greenville, Sinoe County, Republic of Liberia West Africa. I came to United
States in October of 1987. I learned to speak Liberian dialects from infancy, because my parents
were illiterate and that was the only way of communication. Since most Liberian dialects are similar
(depending on the region) I can communicate in Sarpo, Kru, Bassa, a little of Grebo and Krahn. By the
time I was promoted to the 3rd grade, I was able to not only interpret for my parents and other family
members, but write and read letters sent to/from them. Also I learned at an early age to read the Bible
to my parents and interpret every word to them which was a difficult task. The challenge made me
learn the art of language faster; as a result, language arts became my favorite subject in school. Very
few African dialects are written, ours are not, meaning you have to process everything you hear before
translating. Here in the U.S., following the Liberian Civil War, I volunteered to help lots of re-settlers
(using Liberian English) to help them with various Immigration related tasks. I am happy to join Legal
Interpreters and enjoying their assignments. Helping others is my passion, I feel good helping people and
interpreting for them.

Claude
Lantana, FL
Haitian Creole
After leaving Haiti at the age of 21 to pursue University studies in France, I briefly moved to Canada
before finally settling in the US for a long career in Food Distribution. Upon retirement in 2007, I started
volunteering as an interpreter for Creole speaking patients at a free medical center for the
underprivileged in Palm Beach County which led me, in time, to an acquisition of a Court Certification in
Haitian-Creole interpretation.

Since then I have been working as a freelance contractor for many interpreting and translating agencies
and for the Florida Courts Administration undertaking both medical and legal assignments. Continuous
learning being a constant requirement for any successful interpreter, South Floridaâ€™s immense diversity
has offered me a world of opportunity to keep thriving in my newfound passion of interpreting and
translating.

Ivana
Alexandria, VA
Spanish, French, Italian
â€śTo learn a new language is to live a new lifeâ€ť is what marked my professional life since the first foreign language class I took. I was probably seven years old. Since then being a linguist has been a continuous discovering of words, expressions, slang, language variants, cultural contents, etc., from etymological to philosophical meanings.
Every time I face a group of words to translate, proofread, interpret or edit I connect to my natural state of a linguist.
Experience has given me flexibility, drive and openness to work in many different fields as linguist. Living in different continents has expanded my conception of human nature thus respect for every language and dialect.
I have been involved in international cultural exchange programs, marketing and business, fine and decorative arts, legal, medical and engineering language projects. The adventure continues and I expect new linguistic challenges in different fields, venues and countries where a client needs Italian, Spanish,
French or English to be mastered with excellence.

Richard
Los Angeles, CA
Chinese Mandarin, Cantonese
I am a retired physicist, engineer, and business executive who became an interpreter/translator as a second career. Upon my retirement a few years ago, I volunteered translation work for a non-profit organization. A close friend of mine looked at the quality of my work, and suggested that I should apply to ATA to become an interpreter/translator as there is a great need in the Chinese community due to many recent immigrants and visitors from China. I gave it a try. As it turns out, it was a correct decision as I enjoy the opportunity to interact with people through interpretation. People who came to this country and do not know English are often disadvantaged, and I value opportunities to help them through my work.

I was born in China and grew up in Hong Kong, where I received an English-based education since my elementary school years making me a truly bilingual person. It was difficult at first trying to adjust to both languages and cultures, but once I got over the difficulties, it became a blessing because I am comfortable in a Chinese traditional setting as well as in an American setting.

another language into English. We will always
use a professional who is translating into their

to receive a customized quote.

Our ASL interpreters are all certified to

them to interpret in the field of their

Please note, for events lasting longer than 1.5 hours you will need 2 ASL interpreters that will work as a team and take turns when

We are on the news!
(December 2015)

We recently were a part of an amazing conference called "Doing Business in Algeria Road Show 2015" hosted by The US-Algerian Business Council and The American Arab Chamber of Commerce. This conference brought together U.S. & Algerian government officials and CEOs of both public and private companies from Algeria to meet their high-level counterparts in the US in order to conduct productive business to business discussions.

We were tasked with scheduling 40 simultaneous and consecutive French interpreters in two major cities (Washington, DC and Detroit, MI). With such high profile government and business officials attending, our client had very high expectations. We provided the best of the best and nothing less.

After screening over 100 French interpreters from 7 different states, we are proud to say that we exceeded our client's expectations! Interpreting for a conference of this magnitude isn't an easy task, but our interpreters performed wonderfully! One of our interpreters in Detroit, Frank Fernandez, was even featured on Detroit's Channel 7 News while interpreting for Algeria's Minister of Industry, Abdelslam Bouchouareb. Check out the clip above which was aired in Detroit and featured on WXYZ.com!

Watch our interpreter, Frank Fernandez, interpreting for the Algerian Minister of Industry and Mines at the Doing Business in Algeria Road Show 2015.

The Swain Law Firm

Christopher A. Bradley, Esq â€˘ Posted on January 18, 2017

The interpreter was excellent. Prompt and professional and very competent. Thank you.

Essex County Superior Court

Harvey Martinez â€˘ Posted on November 28, 2016

Since we started doing business with Legal Interpreters, they have proven to be a reliable, efficient and professional team. Even when we have called them with last-minute requests, they have generally been able to secure the interpreting services we have needed. The best example was when they were successful in securing the services of an interpreter who spoke a particular version of Kapchikel from Guatemala. I highly recommend Legal Interpreters!

Class Act Reporting, LLC

Brittany Burrows â€˘ Posted on October 25, 2016

I can always count on Legal Interpreters for my last minute requests. They are very professional and extremely dependable. I will continue to use them whenever I have interpreter needs and recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Marks, O'Neill, O'Brien, Doherty & Kelly

Michelle L. Murphy â€˘ Posted on August 06, 2015

We were more than impressed w/the gentleman that showed up for the interpretation. He showed up early, was dressed very professionally and was really accommodating. Legal Interpreters is now our go-to company for our translation needs. And I will definitely recommend them to the other secretaries I work with, both in and outside of my firm.

"Thank you again for your help on a last-minute situation. You were a life saver!"

JPA Reporting, LLC

Kim Livingston â€˘ Posted on August 06, 2015

I have never worked with a more thorough, professional and friendly interpreting company before. They have made this task so painless for me!

Legal Interpreters LLC believes in giving back to the community. Read the letter by Elaine Schnall of Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, Inc. about our translation contribution to the Polish-born Jewish Holocaust survivors.
